Glen Paul Price

Mr. Glen Paul Price took flight the morning of August 1, 2024, at the age of 82. Glen was a hardworking, salt-of-the-Earth man who loved his family above all else. Born in Quitman, Tx on August 9th, 1941, the youngest of seven to Annie Belle and C.S. Price, he joined the Army at 17 years old to help send money home to his family, where he served mostly in Germany. His tales of the many shenanigans during this time are priceless! He was assigned to Ft. Sam Houston in San Antonio, Tx on a compassionate assignment after the unexpected and sudden death of his dad. One of our favorite photos show him boarding the bus to boot camp with his mother’s inscription on the back reading, “My baby. May he return.” He married Wanda Shawn on July 13, 1962, and grew his family by having three strong daughters, whom he adored. He served his longest duty as daddy and took his commitment to his daughters seriously. Fiercely protective and sworn to duty! He worked many jobs throughout his life and often many at one time to ensure the needs of his family were met to include dairy farming, TDCJ, Brown Oil Tool, gas station attendant, and a myriad of side hustles to make ends meet. His infectious smile and sense of humor will be remembered by all who knew him. He could crack a joke at the most unexpected time and break tensions, clear a room, or get belly laughs on his command. He loved a good competition and grilling with the Elks Lodge was a favorite! Glen’s accomplishments in life are too numerous to list, and his service to others will never be forgotten. He was the most empathic person and would adopt families to help throughout the year, even when he struggled himself. Never a selfless moment and dedicated his life to demonstrating to his children how to live, love, and to always help others. He leaves behind three daughters: Patti Ibarra, Shawna Price, and April Killingsworth and five grandchildren: Josh Bates, Jacob Pickett, Diana and Glen Killingsworth, and Cate Theriot, and nieces Cindy Pence and Brenda Blackmon. He is now surrounded by his beautiful, large family that has gone before him: grandparents, parents, siblings: Pauline, Dot, Pat, Nadine, Buddy, Gayle, wife Wanda, and granddaughter Lauren. May he enjoy a beautiful reunion with all. His family offers a huge thank you to the staff of Oasis Hospice who cared lovingly and compassionately for him at the end of his journey. He loved them and they loved him, and it showed in the care given each day. Donations in his memory can be made to Adobe Contemplative Care for the Dying (abodehome.org) or Camp C.A.M.P (campcamp.org). A visitation will be held on Tuesday, August 6, 2024, from 6:00 to 8:00 PM at Sam Houston Memorial Funeral Home in Huntsville. A graveside service will be Wednesday, August 7 at 10:00 AM at Holly Cemetery in Friday, TX. Memorial condolences to the family may be made at www.shmfh.com.
